Exceptions Folder
Exceptions require additional steps to deploy. See: Deploying Exceptions http://www.adobe.com/go/ccp_exceptions
Exceptions Deployer app may be run to push down exceptions to clients.
Exceptions are only on Windows – To avoid the exceptions process, see best practices
© 2014 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved.
Exceptions
§ Acrobat XI Pro (Windows only)
§ Must be deployed separately and before the rest of the CC apps as an exception
§ CCP serializes Acrobat during the install
§ Alternative Solution – Use the Acrobat Customization Wizard and package with separate SN.
§ Muse CC 2014 (Windows only)
§ Must be deployed as an exception on Windows
§ Muse requires an AdobeID at launch for end-users
§ For more details about deploying Muse, see: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/installing-products-exception-folder.html#If you are installing Adobe Muse
§ Adobe Lightroom (Windows only)
Recommendation If your organization already has an approved, working package of Acrobat, use that instead of packaging Acrobat as an exception.

In a crunch to deploy?
Reduce the number of different packages for use in your institution A majority of machines can benefit from common package deployment • Logical collections of Apps that work together create efficiencies in
deployment
Cover the majority of your machines first and then deploy to the machines requiring exceptions. Consider a separate install of Acrobat using the Acrobat Customization Wizard Consider a Lightroom reduced distribution • For departments of labs that require Lightroom (Win)

Preparing and Testing Packages
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/preparing-deploy.htmlCreating packages
In order to create packages, you should: • Read the Creating Packages article, which walks you through
invoking and using the CC Packager. • Know where the CC Packager is installed on the
administrative machine. • When all of the planning is completed, create all of your
packages, using the information you created in the planning stage.
• When you are finished creating the packages, you should test them before deployment.
Note: you should not package on a system that contains extracted CC applications – see next slide

Uninstalling Packages
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/preparing-deploy.html To remove CC packagers from a machine • For an install package, run the package uninstaller program on the system.
You can do this with with the uninstall file located in the build folder:
• Or the MSI/PKG package: • On Windows, use the MSI uninstall command:
• msiexec /uninstall <pkg_name>.msi /quiet • On Mac OS, use the following command:
• sudo installer -pkg <uninstall_pkg_name> -target / • When the uninstall is finished, check the install location to see that the
applications were removed. (Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool) • http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-
problems.html • Run the cleaner tool and restart
• You can also use a network management system to uninstall
